Dear Lord
Here's a few things that have been on my mind
Let me first ask forgiveness, for i sin all the time
Me and J robbed that house
...Knew i'd feel the sting
The pain of lettin' you down outweighs the money it brings
I feel it runied my chance to hear the angels sing
Cause i broke a big ten
Not even for the first time
it seems worse 'cause robbing thy neighbor is one of the worst crimes
And i should be doing church time
But its been so long
And i've got too much to tell you
God, i've been so gone
I've been drained of purity
It feels like my head's dried
So many minor sins to tell
I'll save them for my bedside
But, onto brighter things if you should choose to forgive
Because sorrow in repentance isn't all that i live
Right now i'd like to thank you
For all that you've done
For the green grass, the clear lakes, and fiery sun
For my loving parents, and for not being poor
For gettin me through surgery and home by four
For the good looks
The talent
And not to be vain
But i think you put some extra time in sculpting my brain
And my frame
Thanks for food, water and health - i'm blessed
And in return, God
I'll start trying to do my best
If there's one thing i could ask for
...It's kind of self centered
But i haven't slept for three days in this new stage i've entered
Please let me shut my eyes and go to places with no boundries
Either the medicine is messed up
Or insomnia has found me
Something's got to give
My eyes are weighing down my mass
Please bring me this relief
...And please bring it fast
Goodnight Lord
thanks for listening...

Again I am impressed. Such a heartfelt write. You can tell that this came from your soul and I like that. Again this flowed wonderfully and was a pleasure to read
Be well and be blessed. I sure hope He answered that prayer for sleep and I'm sure He heard your prayer of gratitude.

lithium,
wow. I'm speechless. This peom came straight from your soul. No sin is greater or less than another. They are all equal. And all can be forgived. God loves you so much. And even though you've been bad.. he knows that you wanna be good. I'm very proud of you. And I don't know you. You know that your doing bad and you wanna do better. You know that God is the only way. And you are right. He is the only way to ever be at peace. Keep your focus upon him.
Thank you for taking the time to enter my contest. Good luck!
God Bless

George, this write hit me even harder, after our conversation of last night! The Lord is always there, darlin'! As long as there's breath in your body, there's always hope! Scripture says that there's nothing we can do, that can put us outside the boundries of God's love! NOTHING! Focus on that, sweets! As to the insomnia.....it could be the meds.....but I personally don't think so! The Lord will "drive" you, George! He won't let you just walk away from this. He loves you enough to keep on, till you've made it right! Because He loves you! Don't ever forget that!

Very emotional write, coming straight out from the heart, I like the conversational technique, it makes the poem seem very personal and honest. One thing that never ceases to amaze me about God is how he always listens. Even when you think he doesn't, after some time you realised that he not only was listening, but he has answered you too. Very nice write. Good luck in the contest.
